If Boko Haram were to behead some US Citizen on Youtube then perhaps the US and the world would take notice. Killing thousands of black Christians or stealing black children is no big deal.

So neither Republicans nor Democrats in office today, nor the surrogates and cabinet members of previous presidencies cared about the massive slaughter that happened in Sudan (when both Clinton and Bush were president), nor cared about Rwanda (when Bill Clinton was president) nor cares about Nigeria now (occurring now with Obama being president)?
Why would they not care about those atrocities, and also not care about the killing of Christians and the stealing of black children, but care about other atrocities committed in other places?
Maybe if they had some oil fields it would be a big deal.
“Killing thousands of black Christians or stealing black children is no big deal”
What a short memory you have. Not long ago we had our “hate week” against Boko Haram, and the MSM had us tearing our hair and rending our clothes, which is why the organization is recognizable enough to serve its purpose in today’s headline. It’s not that we care less about its victims than ISIS’s. We don’t really care about ISIS as much as it seems. They are a back door into the Syrian war, which the powers that be have been itching to jump into.
We also care about Iraq and Kurdistan, as well as keeping Iran, Russia, and others out of the power vacuum. But mainly, it’s about Syria. It’s certainly not about the specter of ISIS, which half a second ago was according to Obama the junior varsity squad. It isn’t about two beheadings, though that’s what finally hooked the masses, or some of them. Boko Haram making similar claims to caliphatedom, threatening civilization as we know it, terrorizing this or that thing we actually care about, and so on, is neither here nor there. We’ll send the CIA, special forces, bombs, etc., after them. But if you think big talk and kidnappings are why we’re starting Iraq War III, I don’t know what to say.
Especially not to the Revrund Jahckson and Pimp Al.
